And a home run for venezuelan baseball the white house is set to lift its ban on Major League Players heading south during the american all 6. I brought in thomas great to have you with us leaders of natos Member States are due to meet again near london in a search for unity amidst divisions they were hosted by the queen at Buckingham Palace to mark the 70th anniversary of the alliances founding but it was a brief show of harmony before are a nude airing of differences between the french and american president s. Well that spat continued at a News Conference with President Trump in his new role as a defender of dado after having long been as main critic. Would you like isis fighters you could give them. Every one you want. Not quite cordial combative tone pervaded the News Conference with u. S. President donald trump and his french counterpart emanuel mark hong at the nato meeting in london on tuesday trump sharply rebuked mccraw for saying in an interview with the magazine the economist last month that quote what we are currently experiencing is the brain death of nato. Its a very tough statement to make when you have such a growth. Perhaps you look at whats happened with the yellow press you look at whats going on during certain parts of this season of the year and you just cant go around making statements like that its very disrespectful micron however did not back down. Uses my statement we saw their actions shake a little bit all people have done. The 2 leaders seem to have differing visions of the role of nato they dont want to write and frankly one of the benefits really the least is the United States would benefit the way were helping your people. Well. Another of the alliances big players german chancellor Angela Merkel remain upbeat about nato with all of the differences here but of course well have to discuss them we have to talk about the future of nato and the Strategic Partnership im fairly optimistic about this meeting mr. Optimism alone however it will not be enough to bridge the divide within the alliance. That has been following the summit and sent us this from what. They dont leaders would have a lot of reasons to squabble here in london there have been many problems multilayered problems in the last weeks but it almost seems like theyve struck a truce saying lets not talk about this not right now at least because were here to celebrate the 70th anniversary of nato but that doesnt mean the truce will hold if you think about the money we might cost the french president s statements about the socalled brain death of nato or about trams repeated criticism of european allies not spending enough on defense or what turkey is doing in Northern Syria that all gives us reason to question whether this truce will really hold on wednesday the 2nd day of the leaders meeting here in london. Max hoffman there in one of the points of contention at the nato summit that max just mentioned is member state turkeys nor terry intervention in Northern Syria about 2 months ago your call turkish troops moved into syria to clear out kurdish fighters and the border area now the syrian side of the border is the area where turkey wants to resettle some of the 3500000 Syrian Refugees that its now hosting. A turkish patrol unit in the Northern Syrian city of raw sound mind on the border with turkey this is where omkara wants to resettle Syrian Refugees from turkey in a socalled safe zone as quickly as possible. The safe zone would stretch about 100 kilometers westward from rahsaan mine to. But the area lacks housing hospitals and schools so is seeking money from the European Union to Fund Construction work something the representative of president karen o. Wants a k. P. Party in the Turkish Border town of jail on pain are this keen to emphasize this that they should support turkey so that all the refugees can return to their homeland and live the good life is through an ambition peace. But there have been repeated explosions within the planned safe zone several people have been killed blames the kurdish y. P. Jean militia others say the socalled a small mix state is responsible. Kurds in the region are deeply skeptical about whether that zone should be regarded as safe. Relationship with the Current Situation the United Nations should really intervene. Many kurds make it clear that turkish troops are not welcome here greeting their tanks with a barrage of stones. Well nato member turkey launched that offensive into syria in coordination with natos adversary russia oh how far as moscow willing to go to weaken nato by bringing turkey into its fear of influence lets cross over now and talk about that would be sure when in moscow good morning to you have light of nato leaders have sharply criticized turkey for deepening its cooperation with moscow whats the kremlin saying about that. Well the kremlin spokesperson did meet he was actually asked about the deepening partnership yesterday and he kind of said that countries should be able to be partners with whichever countries they want to be partners with and that that partnership with russia shouldnt get in the way of a partnership with nato for turkey so essentially anyone can be friends thats kind of what he was saying but i think in this case actions speak much louder than words and the signals that were getting in terms of russia and turkeys behavior certainly dont seem to signal that this partnership will stop you mentioned syria in syria the 2 countries have been conducting joint patrols despite the fact that theyre on opposing sides in that war there in syria with turkey turkey supporting the opposition and russia supporting president assad and economically as well weve seen a lot of actions there between the 2 countries theyre very close partners with theres going to be a launch of a new gas pipeline turk stream very soon which runs between the 2 countries directly so i think you know we can see that partnership isnt going to stop anytime soon rome was only view Strategic Energy polls were seeing between the 2 countries but turkey is also buying advanced Weapons Systems were talking about the Missile System yes 400 from russia can you tell us about that. Well absolutely i think that the partnership that were seeing between turkey and russia is kind of a Strategic Partnership in the many of the deliveries have actually already derived arrived turkey and that has been much to the dismay of nato theyve basically been saying you cant buy weapons from our adversary but actually the 2 countries have gone even further in a meeting in august between air go on and putin we even saw the 2 leaders saying that they wanted to cooperate much more when it comes to the military that they might even build weapons together and said that he might consider buying fighter jets from russia so this certainly seems to be kind of. You know showing showing off their defiance and showing off that they can do whatever they want despite what the west wants and despite what nato wants. To do is deepening relationship to. Russia thanks very much moscow.
